Hi,

It's always great to get feedback on LyX.

Something that I thought while using beamer with LyX was that it seems 
that it would be easier if Frames would not "hang together". I mean: 
right now, if you press enter at the end or beginning of a frame, you 
get a new line that is extending the same frame. Wouldn't it be easier 
if you get a new frame this way and instead would just nest stuff in 
order to get it onto a specific frame? So, no need for separators 
either. There may be issues with this suggestion that I have not thought 
careful enough about but on the face of it, it seems like a good idea to 
me and to solve the issues you mentioned. What do you think?

Best,
Daniel
